Product Feature Identification Installation Preparations Step-By-Step Installation and Wiring Painting the Speaker Maintenance Contacting JBL Thank you for purchasing JBL Control Contractor ceiling loudspeakers. Read through this manual to familiarize yourself with the features, applications and precautions before you use these products.
The JBL Control Contractor ceiling loudspeakers utilize innovative design and materials to provide premium level performance from compact in-ceiling speakers. CONTROL 24C MICRO - Most compact of the JBL ceiling speakers, the Control 24C Micro contains a 4" woofer and a ¾" titanium-coated tweeter, providing high-fidelity sound over an extremely wide coverage area.
A pre-installation bracket can also function as a cutout template when many cutouts are to be made. Two types of pre-installation brackets are available from JBL Professional as optional accessories: 1) The optional NEW-CONSTRUCTION BRACKET is made of flat sheet metal, with wings to attach to the building structure.

The speakers are packaged in cardboard cutout templates which can be used for scribing the cutout hole onto your ceiling surface. The cutout size for the Control 24C/CT Micro and the Control 24CT MicroPlus is the same as the Regular Control 24C & CT.
Step-by-Step Installation and Wiring The installation system has been designed so that the entire installation can be accom- plished from beneath the ceiling, for instances when access above the tile is not possible or practical. However, in some cases it may be easier with removable ceiling tiles to access from both the top and bottom of the ceiling tile during various phases of the installation.

Step 3 - Connect the Wiring to the Input Terminal Block. Connect the wiring to the UL & CE-rated, touch-proof terminal block that is attached to the side of the speaker by stripping the insulation back about about the bare end of wire into the connector and screwing the hold-down screw until tight using a small flat blade screwdriver.

Step 4 - Add included metal strain relief as necessary. The Control 24C/CT Micro and the 24CT MicroPlus are equipped with two locations where the installer can affix strain relief con- nectors - one is on the back of backcan and one is on the side (for applications with shallow access).

1 - Cable Tie - If using loose wire, this cable tie can secure the loose ends of wire that are connected to the terminal block. The strap can be tightened by pulling on the loose end and then tightening the holding screw. 2 - Adjustable Metal Strap - This adjustable steel tie fitting is provided for those applica- tions where it can be utilized to affix a set of wires.

Step 6 - Connect a Secondary Support Line to Seismic Tab - A tab is provided on the side of the Control 24C/CT Micro and the Control 24CT MicroPlus for connection to an inde- pendent secondary support point. Some construction codes require using this secondary sup- port point, by connecting a support line to a separate secure support point.
The rim can be painted before installation or in cases where the rim needs to be finished along with the ceiling, the speaker rim can be painted after attaching into the ceiling. Type of Paint - The speaker's polystyrene rim accepts almost any type of latex or oil based paint. Two coats are recommended.
